	This section documents all user interaction with headlines. Note: in Liferea
	headlines are also referred to as items.
	</p>

	<h3>Available Viewing Modes</h3>

	<p>
	Liferea knows three display modes:
	</p>

	<table><tr><td width="20px">&nbsp;</td><td>
	<p>
	    <table><tr><td width="60px">
	    <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style="border:1px solid black;">
	       <tr>
	          <td style="border:1px solid black;" width="20px" height="20px" rowspan=2>&nbsp;</td>
		  <td style="border:1px solid black;background:#ccc;" width="20px" height="20px">&nbsp;</td>
	       </tr>
	       <tr>
	          <td style="border:1px solid black;background:#ccc;" width="20px" height="20px">&nbsp;</td>
	       </tr>
	    </table>
	    </td><td>
	    <b>Normal View</b> - Email client like: the upper right pane
	    contains a list of all headlines of the selected feed and the 
	    selected headline is shown in the lower right pane.</li>
	    </td></tr></table>
	</p>

	<p>
	    <table><tr><td width="60px">
	    <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style="border:1px solid black;">
	       <tr>
	          <td style="border:1px solid black;" width="18px" height="40px">&nbsp;</td>
		  <td style="border:1px solid black;background:#ccc;" width="10px" height="20px">&nbsp;</td>
	          <td style="border:1px solid black;background:#ccc;" width="10px" height="20px">&nbsp;</td>
	       </tr>
	    </table>
	    </td><td>
	    <b>Wide View</b> - 3 panes: the middle pane contains a list of all headlines 
	    of the selected feed and the selected headline is shown in the right pane.</li>
	    </td></tr></table>
	</p>

	<p>
	    <table><tr><td width="60px">
	    <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style="border:1px solid black;">
	       <tr>
	          <td style="border:1px solid black;" width="20px" height="40px">&nbsp;</td>
		  <td style="border:1px solid black;background:#ccc;" width="20px" height="40px">&nbsp;</td>
	       </tr>
	    </table>
	    </td><td>
	    <b>Combined View</b> - 2 panes: the right pane contains
	    a combined display of all headlines of the selected feed.</li>
	    </td></tr></table>
	</p>

	</td></tr></table>

	<p>
	You can change between these modes in the "View" menu. This
	is a per-feed settting so you can view each feed in the mode
	that fits best. The default viewing mode is "Normal View".
	</p>
	
	<h4>Launching an Item Link</h4>
	<p>
	To open the link the item refers to double click on
	the item or for keyboard users select the item and press
	return. Note that not each item provides a link! If the
	item provides a link the item title text in the item
	views header box is a hyperlink.
	</p>
	<p>
	To learn how to configure the browser that is used
	to open links refer to the <a href="preferences_en.html">Program Preferences</a>
	section!
	</p>
	
	<h4>Changing the Read Status</h4>
	<p>
	A headline has a read state. Unread items have bold titles. 
	If you select an item the read status changes to read and the 
	item title style becomes regular.
	</p>
	<p>
	Sometimes you may not want to read the headlines of a 
	subscription. To mark all unread at once select "Mark all as Read"
	from the "Feed" menu or the tool bar. Alternatively you can press
	the Ctrl-R hotkey.
	</p>
	<p>
	There is also the possibility to change back the item read
	status. Select "Toggle Read Flag" from the items menu or
	click the headline with the third mouse button to achieve this.
	</p>
	<table cellspacing="10">
	<tr><td>
	<img src="help_item_unread.png">
	</td><td>
	The icon used to indicate unread items.
	</td></tr>
	</table>
	
	<h4>Flagging Items</h4>
	<p>
	Liferea allows you to mark items with a flag. This is useful
	to easily find these items and to prevent them from being 
	dropped from the cache when aging. To do so select "Toggle Flag" 
	from the item context menu or click the icon column of the headline list
	with the third mouse button. 
	</p>
	<table cellspacing="10">
	<tr><td>
	<img src="help_item_flag.png">
	</td><td>
	The icon used to indicate flagged items.
	</td></tr>
	</table>
	
	<h4>Jump to Next Unread Item</h4>
	<p>
	When using this feature by either clicking the button in the
	toolbar or using the hotkey (Ctrl-N) you will be able to access
	all unread items very fast. The program will first jump to the
	next unread item in the currently displayed item list and when
	there are no unread items it will select the first unread item
	in the first feed of the feed list that contains unread items.
	</p>
	
	<h4>Searching Items</h4>
	<p>
	There is the possibility to search all items which contain
	a specific literal either in their title or their content
	by using the search box. Please refer to the <a href="searching_en.html">Searching</a>
	section!
	</p>
	
	<h4>Removing Items</h4>
	<p>
	By selecting "Remove All Items" from the "Items" menu you can
	clear the item cache of the currently selected feed. If you
	only want to remove a single by choosing the "Remove Selected"
	option.
